Hey Reader, Woah! You actually opened it. That's awesome! First off, THANK YOU. I don't not take it lightly that you open these emails. It means a lot. Secondly, before I jump into what I wanted to share here, I wanted to let you know...I started a separate newsletter on Substack. I know, why, right? I actually explain why in my first post over there. Some of the content will overlap with this newsletter, but a lot of it is going to be a little more raw and unpolished over there...and will...

Hey Reader, Before I jump into what I wanted to share here, I wanted to let you know...I started a separate newsletter on Substack. I know, why, right? I actually explain why in my first post over there. Some of the content will overlap with this newsletter, but a lot of it is going to be a little more raw and unpolished over there...and will likely explore a lot more of my life and experiences inside of, outside of, and all around being an entrepreneur.

Hey Reader, At one point in my business, I was doing everything. And I mean everything. Well, at least I THOUGHT I was doing everything. In reality I was dropping the ball on most things. I thought if I just worked harder, put in more hours, and we just posted more, went live more, created more stuff, etc, we would push through to that next level. What actually ended up happening was.... We built something we couldn't sustain. Something that wasn't helping us grow. Something that was so...

Hey Reader, Ok, I'm going to talk about websites again, because it's on my mind. I'm currently working on a redesign for TeachBetter.com. Any time I work on our site, I think a lot about when I first started building sites, and how it can be a really stressful project for people.One of the biggest reasons people get stuck building (or rebuilding) their site is feeling like they need all the pages, all the features, and all the things before it’s “ready.”Here’s a better approach: Start with...

Hey Reader, Have you been putting off launching your website, or reworking the one you have, because it doesn’t look the way you want it to yet? Yea, I've been there.

Hey Reader, Starting your own business can be exciting, scary, and nerve-racking all at the same time. Building something from scratch can take some time, and most people don’t have the cash reserve to jump ship from their full-time job and dive into a new venture. This why you hear so much about side hustles, because most people need to hustle on the side for a while before making any real money.
